Persistent Links to Fulltext Articles, eBooks, and Videos from Library Databases
Because of license and copyright law restrictions governing the use of subscription databases, persistent links can only be used where authentication is available. To place links to journal articles from library databases on a class website or WebCT or Blackboard course page, you must add the authentication prefix (http://libproxy.uhcl.edu/login?url=) to the beginning of the persistent link URL. For instructions, see the document Linking to Library Database Articles (if desired, see video demonstrating how to link to an article and the document). See also Linking to Library eBooks and Linking to Videos in Neumann Library Databases.  

If you have questions about linking to various library resources, please contact Karen Berrish, Associate Director for Digital Services, at (281)283-3919 or by email at berrish@uhcl.edu. See also information further below about course reserves.

Customized online course resources

If your students are required to use numerous electronic resources and portions of the library web site, you may want a librarian to create an online guide for your course. The library course guide (example) will have a unique URL to which you can link from your own course page or course management software (see also Blackboard Tools Link for Library Guides). The contents can include research databases, annotated resource links, bibliographies, video tutorials, how-to guides, etc., to fit the needs of your students. Please contact your library liaison or Susan Steele, Coordinator of Library Instructional Services, to request this service.
